Image of Cuevas del Campo, not of the place itself.

The area, formerly known as 'Campo de los Aljibes' for its medieval Arab cisterns, began to be settled in the 19th century when farm laborers dug caves as seasonal shelter; by 1887 it had 87 caves and only one house. The municipality became independent from Zújar on 21 November 1980 by Royal Decree 2916/1980.
